A new species of Pachycheles (Crustacea: Anomura: Porcellanidae), with taxonomic remarks on two other porcelain crabs from the remote oceanic archipelago of Trindade and Martin Vaz, South Atlantic Ocean
Three species in two genera of porcelain crabs are reported from the remote oceanic archipelago of Trindade and Martin Vaz one of which, Pachycheles meloi, new to science. The new species is morphologically similar to Pachycheles riisei (Stimpson, 1858) from the inner continental shelf between Flori...
